  • 1. Argentina Enjoys a Major Comparative Advantage in Agriculture, Especially in Cereal Production and Livestock Products
    WT/TPR/S/176/Rev.1 Trade Policy Review Page 102 IV. TRADE POLICIES BY SECTOR (1) OVERVIEW 1. Argentina enjoys a major comparative advantage in agriculture, especially in cereal production and livestock products. In 2005, exports of agricultural and livestock products (WTO definition) made up almost one-half of Argentina's exports of goods. Generally speaking, agriculture has received little assistance in comparison with other sectors producing goods and virtually all the aid notified has been within the Green Box. Minimum producer prices are set only for tobacco. 2. The manufacturing sector's share of GDP increased considerably during the period under review, largely as a reflection of its increased competitiveness following the 2002 devaluation of the peso, and of the growth of the domestic market. Special support schemes apply to the automotive industry, including an incentives scheme introduced in 2005 for the production of autoparts, whereby refunds are granted if local components are used. Argentina has concluded preferential agreements in the automotive industry providing, inter alia, for import quotas and measures to ensure a trade balance. 3. Argentina is the fourth largest producer of crude oil in Latin America and has the third largest reserves of natural gas. Exports of hydrocarbons are subject to a surcharge (in addition to the 25 per cent export duty), which can be as much as 20 per cent depending on the international price of oil. The rates that may be charged by natural gas distributors were frozen in 2002; artificially low prices and growing demand have caused problems that prompted the Government to take a number of steps, including export restrictions.

  • Second-Quarter 2019
    Corporates Special Report Argentina Argentine Corporate Credit Indicators: Second-Quarter 2019 Victory of Opposition in Primary Election Elevates Uncertainty Sovereign Downgrade: Fitch Ratings downgraded the sovereign ratings of Argentina to ‘CCC’ from ‘B’ following the primary election results. The downgrade reflects elevated policy uncertainty following the August 11 primary election, a severe tightening of financing conditions and expected deterioration in the macroeconomic environment that increases the likelihood of a sovereign default or restructuring of some kind. The primary election results point to heightened risks of policy discontinuity, after the upcoming October 2019 general election, prompting a collapse in market sentiment, sharp Argentine peso depreciation and widening of sovereign debt spreads. The current situation poses a major setback to macroeconomic stabilization efforts and sovereign financing conditions. These adverse developments could impair the country’s liquidity position and amplify debt sustainability risks. Corporates Exposed to the Sovereign: Argentine utilities such as AES Argentina, Agua y Saneamientos, Albanesi, Genneia and MSU Energy Group (Rio Energy, UGEN and UENSA) were downgraded in line with the sovereign to ‘CCC’, as each issuer is either directly or indirectly dependent or exposed to the government. Argentine electricity utilities are exposed to the Electric Wholesale Market Administrator Company, or Compañia Administradora del Mercado Mayorista Electrico Sociedad Anonima (CAMMESA), which acts as an agent on behalf of an association representing agents of electricity generators, transmission, distribution and large consumers or the electric wholesale market participants. CAMMESA is highly reliant on financial support from the government. Fitch aligns Argentine utilities with their counterparty risk. Ratings are also constrained by the macroeconomic environment, including high inflation and steep currency depreciation, increasing the uncertainty in the regulatory environment.
